We talk a lot about board engagement at Boardable, because we believe an engaged board is vital to the health of a nonprofit. We also have a lot of blog posts and webinars on fundraising, since it is such a challenging area for organizations. But where do the two topics intersect? We were excited to explore the topic of removing fundraising barriers with a fundraising expert, Claire Axelrad.
